Single-speed variation

The VX-S hoist from Verlinde is said to offer functions similar to the Eurochain VX range but with new lifting speed advantages: design, robustness and safety for lifting.

The hoists come with an UP/Down electrical safety limit switch, IP55 single speed hoisting and travelling motor protection, 2 buttons pendant on hook suspended hoist or with manual trolley or 4 buttons pendant for hoist with electric trolley, as well as a new suspender compatible with existing trolleys was designed to facilitate hoist installation. The reduction of "C" dimensions optimises the height of lift, proposed as standard from 3m. For more precision, electric trucks are fitted as standard with a speed variation of from 5 to 20m/ min.

Options include 90° rotation of the suspension along with folding, fixed or automatic top hooks. For travel, two speeds of 20 and 5m/min together with a slow variable speed of 3 to 10m/min are proposed.

The dimensions of the lifting unit have been reduced to enable improved approach data of hook. The new chain bucket design has led to an innovative assembly in two parts that increases the hoist's toughness and safety. The hoist brake has also been optimised. In addition to increased safety for the user, these elements do not require any adjustment and are low maintenance.

In performance terms, the gear box is now more powerful: its operability has been optimised with a wider range of ratios to align it with a greater scope of customer applications and improved productivity. Torque limiter settings are now more precise in order to offer greater security to the structure of buildings in the event of excess weight.
